ORIGINAL POST 11.30.2009: Jarred has just announced the REDMOTE PRO which has a built in wireless follow focus. The pro is $1,750 as opposed to $550 for the non pro version.

Both REDmotes disable their wireless signal when attached to the back of the brain.

The first three miniREDs (50mm, 25mm, 16mm) are finished and the 8mm and 6mm will be done in December. Jared has invited anyone to come to their Lakeforest location can view them projected.  There will be a (as of yet undetermined) discount on a full set of miniREDs.
